Why doesn't the media talk about Houthis' proud hate for Jews?

The Houthis have been in the news a lot over the past year. So why have nearly all news media covered their attacks on Israel as being in "support of Gaza" and not because they openly and proudly hate Jews?

Here are excerpts of two stories from Houthi media this past weekend. From Al Bosala:

We believe without a doubt that God Almighty has undertaken to extinguish every war ignited by the Jews against the Muslims until the Day of Judgment, and the brutal war on Gaza will end in a way that blackens and humiliates the faces of the Jews and all those who contributed to it materially and morally.

God Almighty said: “And the Jews say, ‘The hand of Allah is chained.’ Chained are their hands, and cursed are they for what they said. ....They strive to cause corruption in the land, and God does not like corrupters.

From Al Thawra:

The Yemeni Scholars Association has praised the decision of the revolutionary and political leadership to give the green light to the Yemeni armed forces to strike Ben Gurion Airport and target the depth of the Israeli enemy in support of the oppressed in Gaza.

In a statement, the League considered today's operation a courageous, faith-based, jihadi operation that pleases God Almighty and angers His enemies, the Jews, the Americans, and the hypocrites who rush to them.
...
It also stressed that any escalation or ignition of war in light of the support for Gaza and the aggression of America, Britain and Israel against the Yemeni people falls under the category of demonstrating for polytheists, cooperating with the infidels and blatant allegiance to the Jews, which in reality and position makes them closer to apostasy and disbelief than to faith.

They aren't apologetic - their very flag says "Damn the Jews."

In their media they characterize these attacks as part of a holy war.

Why would anyone think that their shooting rockets to Israel has nothing to do with their expressed hate for Jews?

Apparently, Western news organizations have swallowed the myth that most Arabs aren't antisemitic, just anti-Zionist, despite the fact that every poll shows that they hate Jews. If the media is forced to admit that Arabs really do hate Jews, they claim that it is because of Israel, and not mention the Muslim and Arab hate for Jews that predate Israel and Zionism.

When the Houthis say, with no ambiguity, that they are attacking the Jews, the news media doesn't want to upset the narrative that it has built for decades, believing Arab spokesmen saying in English that they have nothing against Jews.

The idea of a religious war is distasteful to Westerners. They don't want to read or hear about that. They want a good guy and a bad guy, they want heroes and villains. When one side emphasizes how they are killing Jews as part of jihad for Allah, the ratings go down. Saying they are "supporting starving children in Gaza" sounds much more appealing.

But it is a lie. It is, and always was, about Jew-hate. Most Arabs will always hate Jews, but when Israel is strong, they respect them.
